An essential work by HAROLD BUDD, the California-born composer who studied and worked in jazz, avant-garde, and minimal music. The album consists of four pieces (six tracks) begun in 1972. Saxophonist Marion Brown and multi-instrumentalist Gavin Bryars appear, with Michael Nyman also credited on marimba, and Brian Eno is credited as a performer as well. It remains a masterpiece of exquisite tone colors and shimmering textures. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
